Lifestyle change?



Well, I'm trying anyway. Trying to be more active.

I've got a nice sunburn from working outside today but now I can't remember what I did. I watered some plants that I planted yesterday. Oh, I planted a couple peppers and watermelon plants I bought yesterday and watered those too. Fed the chickens. Picked the eggs. Then I repotted one of my aloe plants that had bloomed... Oh, I have a picture of that. (Those are the tomatoes I planted last week.) I wish the color on the flowers showed better because it's my favorite color. If I could put it on walls I would. Peach, ivory and mint?

The aloe had a couple of little off-shoots so I ran to the hardware store and bought the two little pots that I'd put back on the shelf yesterday because I didn't need them. Then I planted caladium bulbs that have been waiting for a few months... SAM's Club size... box of 50. So I had to go out and dig a spot for all of the ones I still had left, all 47 that I didn't put in pots.

It was still nice outside and I didn't want to come in here to sit on my butt in front of the computer so I dug up a clump of tulip bulbs and replanted them with enough extra to add new clumps of that type in two more places in my garden. Somewhere I have a picture of them too. I'll bet it gets stuck at the top of this post when I load it.

Yup, the tulips are at the top, aloe at the bottom. And who knows where the text will go when I hit "publish post."

It's Not Projection

Take the case of "fascism". When you can see clear as day that the person who is accusing you of fascism is a fascist, they aren't projecting. They're talking about something ELSE. Basically, in the case of fascism, the basic set of fascist government controls are the default assumption of reality for a whole lot of people. The government is supposed to control every part of your life. The government is supposed to make you moral and good and reflect "justice". The government is supposed to do this by picking winners from the good people and losers from the bad people. The government is supposed to control the way people do business, how businesses (and farmers) function and what they produce. And people should be made to cooperate with this control because they are part of society and society is dependent on everyone being in compliance. This is simply the Truth. It's how the world works and how the world is supposed to work. The Socialist Nationalism,

What You Know That Isn't So

  The saying goes like this, It's not what you *don't* know that is going to trip you up, it's what you know that isn't so. I believe that the first lady might possibly have been feigning helplessness, just a little bit.  She already had concept art and visuals, so I think she'll be okay.   But someone might truly be so new that they know nothing about science fiction as a genre or how it works in the world.  That person, the truly "new" person, might not realize that the second lady, no matter how assured she seems to be that she's passing on vital Wisdom, is wrong. So lets unwrap her backpack a little (to steal a metaphor). Stories about space pirates are Space Opera, generally.  "Soft" science in science fiction usually refers to sociology or psychology, social "science".  A story about space pirates might be "soft".  But that's picking nits.  The first big boo-boo is this: "not as popular *because* it is women
